An experiment was conducted in undrained poly bags under glasshouse conditions to quantify the N2 fixing capacity (15N isotope dilution method) of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (Azospirillum and Bacillus spp.) in association with oil palm seedlings. Effects of inoculation on nutrient uptake a...
